WebCT Essentials
Will your program be using WebCT? If so, then the WebCT Learner Readiness Module, provided by Texas A&M University's Instructional Technology Services (ITS), is a must for you. If you know for sure that you will be using WebCT then we highly recommend that you set aside 30-60 minutes now, or at the end of this orientation, to complete this separate WebCT orientation . The module includes information about WebCT and how to use WebCT, including links to student tutorials. This module works best in Internet Explorer. Click here to go to the module now (then click on 'WebCT Resources' and then click on 'Learner Readiness Module').
How to Log in to WebCT at Texas A&M University:
When you are enrolled in a course that utilizes WebCT Vista, you are in a virtual classroom. Your WebCT ID (username) and password protect your data like a key does for your locker.
To login to WebCT go to http://elearning.tamu.edu/, click on 'TAMU' under 'Bb (WebCT) Vista Logins' and enter your username and password. Your WebCT ID (username) and password are the same as your University NetID and password. After you have successfully logged on you will automatically be able to see links to all WebCT courses for which you are enrolled.
Handouts and Other Training Materials:
The Workshops and Handouts tab on the ITS site includes a selection of useful materials, such as handouts for WebCT Vista on the following topics:
- Posting Discussion Messages
- Using the Mail Tool
- Submitting Assignments
- Viewing Announcements
